Inflatable You Lyrics
Hi.
Loads of people who saw Inflatable You on ITV’s Tickled Pink in the UK have requested that I post the lyrics on my website. So I’m doing it. See what a pliable young man I am?
(nb. While we’re at it, I’d like to point out that the inflatable person in this song is not called Felicity. The Felicity referred to in the 7th stanza is the improper noun, felicity, meaning happiness.)
(Thank fuck we sorted that out.)
Inflatable You
Your love for me is not debatable
Your sexual appetite’s insatiable
You never ever make me waitable
Delectable, inflatable you.
You don’t have problems with your weight at all
You never steal food off my plate at all
I never have to masturbate at all
Unstoppable, inflatable you.
You never seem to menstruate at all
So you’re not angry when I’m late at all
I feel permanently felatable
Unpoppable, inflatable you.
With you in my arms I feel we could just fly away
With the right kind of gas I might even try it some day
In this ocean of life I’m never afraid we might drown
We could just float forever whatever the weather
Whenever my inflatable lover’s around.
Your thighs and buttocks are so holdable
You always do what you are toldable
And if we argue you just foldable
Controllable consolable you.
My mates all reckon you are suitable
I took you ‘round to watch the footable
And Steve and Gary said you’re rootable
Commutable, refutable you.
You’re never sensitive or tickley
When I rub you my skin goes prickerly
It’s know an static electricity
Felicity when I’m kissing you.
Your skin is so smooth – I couldn’t afford you with hair
You have all the holes real girls have got plus one for the air
Your problems are simple, I don’t need my Masters in Psych
To know if you get down I just perk you right up
With a couple of squirts from the pump off my bike.
You never wake up when I snore at all
A trait which I find quite adorable
You have a box and you are storable
Ignorable, back-doorable you.
Any sexual position’s feasible
Although you don’t bend at the knees at all
Your hooters are so firm and squeezable
Increasable, un-creasable you.
You don’t complain about my hairy back
Or ‘bout the inches that downstairs I lack
You’re not disgusted by my furry crack
Burt Bacharach, Jack Kerouac ooo.
Now birth control is not an issue
I clean it all up with a tissue
I bet my jealous friend all wish you
Were insatiably inflatably theirs.
Don’t let me down.
Don’t let me down.
Don’t let me down.
And I won’t let you down.
Tim Minchin 2003.

P.S.S. I also love the Beatles like bit at the end.
Love all your stuff, this was the first one I had heard. I especially like the mentioning of Burt Bacharach. In a way you are like a modern Victor Borge, only I think much more amusing, and even better, more political, I especially appreciate the anti-theism.
However when I first heard this song I could have sworn I heard an extremely similar [albeit not amusing] song many decades ago, and I was wondering if this was modeled after or a parody of another song from the past.
Post Script: I just noticed someone else asking: “Is this song Inflatable You a parody of another song? As in did you take the tune from another song?” Which is similar but I did not notice any indication of an answer. I would suggest it might be worth mentioning the answer here.
Fucking awesome :)
Thx Tim
just found you.
love you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely fuckin’ amazing, rock on Tim!!!
Watching some atheist comedy on you-tube I found a short video of Tim performing stand up comedy. Searched for more of the like but found this song which then led me to “canvas bags” where he unbuttons his shirt and uses a fan for dramatic effects (black out! Fuck yea!). After that, I was specifically searching for his music and got to “rock and roll nerd” which closed the deal and made me officially a fan of his. Each new song I found became an instant favorite: “prejudice”, “not perfect” and “white wine in the sun” along with the aforementioned have been a five star in my media player rating for a while now. I recently listened for the first time to “You Grew On Me” which not surprisingly got it’s fair share of “repeats”. I greatly enjoy his music, love him personality and relate to his perspective on things. Is great to have him in this ride.
Best ever! You ish. I nod. I take my hat off in your general direction.
Is this song Inflatable You a parody of another song? As in did you take the tune from another song?
Hey Timmy, I plan on singing this at my cousins wedding.
wish me luck
Hey, I think I have an old pair of shoes that might fit you
Best of luck
ps when you coming to Dublin?
Bill
Oh cheesus christ. You’re absofuckinglutely FANBLOODYTASTIC! But my mates are all like ‘who’s Tim Minchin?’ and I’m just there for ages trying to explain who you are. And then we’re late for lessons. Oh well. I metaphorically take my hat off to you (I’m not actually wearing a hat) hee hee.. Heh… Hrrrum. I think I love you. But I bet you get that a lot. Yeah.
…….
tim, you are amazing! loved your trick of using minor 2nd`s in crazy jazz solos …it`s a thing i `ve used for years to amuse pupils excellent word-play bizarre and uninhibited you`ve outdone ogden nash by light years! dave frisbourg seems tame in comparison. as a fellow musician and word-smith i take my hat off to you. i was in pain and in tears the first time saw inflatable on tv you cruel beast! you must be a sadist to torture your fans so remorselessly. you are a great inspiration to any type of songwriter. amazed by all the fan comments stay crazy always you are a genius.
just found you.
love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D
I have a feeling that Sarah would really enjoy an inflatable Tim.
omg i love this song you inspired me to play you are a god amongst men much love
Taped your Live show and watched it last night. Had to replay this song over and over again. Didn’t get to bed till wee hours.
One of the funniest things I’ve heard in years.
Absolutely hilarious!
oh my days! you are acc amazing!! xx
Hey guys, I can play a few of Tim’s songs, including Ten Foot Cock And A Few Hundred Virgins (head inflates as I’m the only person to do it!!), and Inflatable You. Currently in the middle of transcribing sheet music (ACTUAL manuscript, not chords), it will be available in the next few weeks on the Angry-Feet forum.
You can check my renditions of Tim’s songs here:

If anyone here has a youtube account, feedback in the form of comments would be very much appreciated.
Thanks :-)

Tim, man, you rock. You rocked in 05 too. Can’t wait to laugh with you at some time in the (hopefully near!) future!
=)
Hey Tim, loving everything you do!
Is there anywhere I can find the sheet music to ‘Inflatable You’ as i am having a few problems working it out.
Keep up the good work.
Can’t wait to see you at the Warwick Arts Centre in November.

I’ve seen ya on Never Mind The Buzzcocks (I think!) … and as Rob said Graham Norton Show… which is where I heard this song. I think it is fucking class!! I’d love to get hold of the sheet music to learn it myself!
=]

Hey Tim,
I’ve heard some of your stuff before, but my friend made me watch one of your DVD’s the other day. … Twice.
Its awesome! I love this song, and your poem Angry (Feet)
Keep it up! ^^
sheet music would be faaaabulous!
i’m incredibly fond of ‘inflatable you’, soo witty, and can probably work it out from listening a few billion times but really would prefer to take the easy way out :P
think you’re hilarious, are you doing anything at the spiegletent this year?? (sorry for spelling :S)
P.S. to sarah, calm down sweetheart, he’s married
Yes, I too am joining in the clamour for sheet music! I’d even stretch myself to paying for it…
You
Are
GOD!
I swear you like, created this world…I decided it would be cool if I were to recite your poem ‘Angry (feet)’ on my school talent quest… kinda got in trouble for that, but it was SO FUCKING WORTH IT! I.FUCKING.LOVE.YOU
Julz xx
Hey Tim, Love your stuff! Its pure awesome…I told a few of my mates about your songs and now they love it to! ahah..
PS: your hair is as awesome as your music
Someone at work noticed I was looking a little glum (frustrating work day), so they handed me their ipod and promised that this would make me smile. It was this song.
And it did. So cheers. :D
awesome songs man, kickass piano playin too
Cheers, Bryce
yay i love you timmy
can you please publish the music of you songs on yr website please
“peace” bra drink tea
hey
ive only ever seen you on tv and i would love to see you perform live.
are you performing in melbourne any time soon???
youre the best
Hey Tim i have a question, for rock and roll nerd, is it about yourself? i don’t mean it as an insult i just saw some signs and i didn’t know if they were coincedents or not. here are the ones i noticed: learnt piano instead of guitar. Grow his hair long, (which looks awesome BTW). So he writes about himself, But he doesn’t want to seem self-obsessed So he writes in third person, (which the whole song is in). i think thats it but there could be some i missed. Any one else notice any?
Anyway i think you are a legend, and if you could reply i’d be stoaked.
thanks, Lloyd
Hey omg this site is wicked
but anyway
My sister borrowed ur dvd off a friend so i’ve been watching it over and over for the past 2 or 3 weeks
the rest of the family is getting sick of it but i just love it
my fav song is So Rock
When are you coming back to Australia?
im probably wrong… but
“Burt Bacharach, Jack Kerouac eww.” ?
My bad and I feel like a complete dork now
‘SO F@#king ROCK’
It was awesome!
I can’t even remember how I got to this page now after finally reaching the bottom of it.
After only recently discovering Tim’s existence in a Brisbane Powerhouse gig guide, I then stumbled upon a few of his appearances on ‘The Side Show’ and instantly enjoyed what I saw, thus prompting ticket purchases to ‘So live’. I feel extremeley fortunate to have had the pleasure of seeing such a brilliant artist in a live performance and went weak at the knees when he came out after the show to meet and greet. I have an inkling that these intimate shows will be a thing of the past as the hoards of Tim enthusiastic followers will be queueing to fill the worlds major venues very soon.
I did chuckle loudly at Harrison’s posts – I think he’s gorgeous.
omg i love you tim sooooo much! i first saw you on the sideshow and loved it so i kept watcjing hoping for more and it came!! i love your angry poem and i asked mum for your dvd at christmas and i got it! i was sooo happy if you ever come to australia i am coming to see you! i have vowed! you are my hero! i’m learning piano and i hope that 1 day i’ll be as good as you…but i diont think thats very likely…i’m not good at composing or thinking of lyrics but maybe one day!
p.s i luv you hair! xxx
Got your DVD for christmas after seeing you on melbourne comedy festival, i loved the whole thing. You’re like the best piano player i’ve ever watched :O and so funny!
U R AWESOME!!!! im not even gay and i love you!!! lol. can u put somg music up here so i can learn some please!! thanks
can you post more lyrics please?
ten foot cock and a few hundred virgins would be especially appreciated
thanks x
Currently listening to Fat Children… mmm doughnuts.. Anyway your great, and yes the satire does actually appeal to the teenage market, sigh. I think we should all sign some sort of petition that says Tim should be played on some mainstream radio station, so sick of my friends not being able to sing the lyrics with me.
Ps. Sarah you scared me in 2005 and you still scare me now, please refrain from slobbering to hard, we all love tim, some of us just hide it a little.
XxX M
I thought the bridge started with
Emaj7 – Amaj7
then went down a step to the D
Any idea about that solo?
PS… this blog seems to disagree with your new website… or something.. not that it matters… since not many people will find it anyway…
Man, I can’t believe you’re still getting comments on this blog tim… how do these crazy people find it???
Hahaha… my comments are amusing…
How are you, dear?
xxx
i love dis song! but how in the world do you come up with songs like the peice anthem for palestine or you grew on me? haha they crack me up!!
I found a set of chords for ‘not perfect’ if anyones interested. But i dont think that tim has autharised it. so keep it quiet till he releases some himself :)
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/tim_minchin_tabs.htm
You.Are.A.Genius. I love your stuff man! I mite be coming to your concert here in december YAY!
hey TIM……all i can say is u ROCK DUDE……
MY GF didnt know u till i sang the song “you grew on me” for her….(IF U DIDNT MIND)….. she got freakd out, but she luvd it……i couldnt take the credit for my self, and i told her it was urs, now she cant get enough of that song….. LOL mate….
ROCK ON
and also im crazy with ur hair style, my GF finds it freaky “thu it is”
luv ya shit and don’t ever change your hair style
Hey!
The verses are – Eb – – – C7 – – – Fm7 – – – Bb7
Fm7 – – – Bb – – – Eb – C B Bb
The little bridge bits are:
Sometimes i feel . . . .just float away
E – – – C#m – – – – G#m – G#m7
Right kind of gas . . . . try it some day
A – – – – E – – – -G#m – C#m – F#m – B7
Now, no doubt I’m wrong in some way…but I thought it was worth a shot.
If anyone has any more transcription etc of Tim’s songs…POST THEM!
oooohhh i love how the comment immediently comes up!
ahhhhh! i really want your new album- can’t find it anywhere!
Your a fuckin LEGEND mate…you should come to Tassie some time soon. You can play the piano llke a really, really smart monkey… i respect that. Hey do you write sheet music or chords out for any of your music? if so I would love to have a go at playing it… i’ve tried to score some myself but it never comes out right.
yes, it is i, the wonderful tim. i would like to point out that the hair on my nipple is exactly like the hair on my head.
From someone who is most certainly tim

Otherwise I’ll have to fly to the UK instead!

I have to join in with the sheet music/chords request chorus – your songs are fab Tim – would love to be able to play them myself, im trying but it takes me ages to work it out by ear. sheet music or chords would be so awesome.
i absolutely love canvas bags, inflatable you, f* the poor and not perfect so so much.

You are amazing…i love you so much:)
Keep up the great work.
Come to N.S.W soon! :)
I think I’m in love….
Just got ‘So Rock’.
It’s bloody amazing.
‘Fat Children’ is amazing…
You should go to the Woodford festival in December. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee! I would just go for you.
You don’t eat pigs……………………
I’m putting my hand up for sheet music too, I’d love to be able to play some of your songs.
Even chords would be good, since you probably don’t write your music in sheet form.
Thanks!
heey(.again)
it was my birthday yesterday, and my friend was trying to find your album.. but she didnt know where to buy it from…any ideas!?!?!?!?!?!
Byee.elovelove

YEAH! I WANT THE SHEET MUSIC TOO!!!
is there any way to get the sheet music for this song as i play the piano
tim,
you are hilarious. my friends and i think that you are the best. in my books, you even beat adam hills and hamish blake (for both hilariousness and sexiness), which is very hard to do, so well done.
and what is this i hear, you have a wife… i am very dissapointed. hehe.
anyway, you are awesome. i love you.
i just have to wait till the end of the year till i can come and see a show or two.
love you!!!
I’m still jealous of your wife.
ps, Im getting married (lol) to a guy from a muslim family…I ‘accidentally’ let him hear “ten foot cock…” = hilarious! luckily he laughed, his mother wasn’t too impressed!!!
love it when someone has the same sense of humour as me, it’s rare trust me.
Say so if ur coming back to perth anytime soon, come to my random wedding…
i would love it if you release your puiano music to adam hillsong and alan brough and canvas bags my favourite
you are the most amazing song writer in the world, i love your work, keep it up
ps-will you be playing anywhere near brisbane in the future?
Jubi
Thank the fuck.
You’re awesome.
Keep it up.
Cheers.
Ash.
omg i friggin love u tim ur my idol!!!!!! u looked so cute playing the piano and looking round like a little kid in a toy store or something it was so funny!
are you coming to perth soon?? i REALLY hope so a friend told me u came a couple of weeks ago but i hope she was wrong coz then u can come backNOW!
One of my favourite songs. ^_^ Yes, just another one of your many adoring fans. Anita (you met her in Adelaide in the Umbrella revolution 2007 Fringe) will be displeased when I tell her that she is not really called Felicity. :P
Pure Genious. I always thought you were just that guy that wore mascara and had really messy hair that sang songs. But noo, you play piano like a fucking pro as well! Is there anything you CAN’T do, Tim?
Can you please explain the meaning of the word ‘Felatable’? :D
Perhaps im just silly, but I cant find it anywhere :P
What am i missing?
A pure genius muso, and an inspiration. Inflatable is my favourite of your songs but they are all truley great. Well dont on all your achievments, you have obviously worked hard for them all.
Do you think that a stop off in Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast of Oz is possible on your next tour?
haha pure genius dude u rock!
Hey Tim
I absolutely love you and your rock and roll nerd sond! You are my favorite comedian ever! when you were at the comdy festival road show in 2005 that was the first time i saw you and i loved it. you are fucking hilarious!
i was also at you show last night at the IPAC in wollongong and i thought you were awsome and if you ever come back ill be there.
MWAH!
Keely!
xoxo
P.S You really should take your shirt off more often!
hey tim im a really big fan i went round my friends house and he showed me all about u . I think u are amazing and really good singer. Ive listened to everyone of ur songs about 20 times now . My favourite is the darkside and donnie darko. I love the way you sing and im such a big fan you could say. Come to birmingham !!!!!! so i can listen :P anyway how about putting some darkside lyrics on ur site
Hey tim love your song Inflatable you!
I recon ur lyrics are clever, but i also love the use of Jazz chords in ur songs, and would love to learn the chord progression myself.
Would you be able to post them up or something? Iv tried notating but theres something thats missing when i play it, other than a real nice Grand Piano
anyway, hope to see you on tv some time soon
Rob
Heard Inflatable You for the first time, love to know the chords so i could play it at home to my friends. Please could you post them up?

Happy New Year!!! :D
absolutely loved your work, Tim. AND DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE SCORE TO THIS?
hey Tim, i love your music and think your comedy is just side splitting, and this song is a great example, but i must say im actually more into your vocals and beautiful piano pieces, for i piano aswell, and i would love it if your could release some piano sheet music for your great songs, that would be awesome, well have good one mate, and its a great song :D

Inflatably yours, Kiandra sexoxox
Lol, I love this song, I realise that it’s a song mainly for men, but its just so hilarious u cant help but laugh. ur a true comedy classic!!!!!! keep the good songs coming!!! Inflatable u and Canvas bags are pure good! Luv Ya Tim, ROCK ON!
all my friends love this song and they wanted to give u a suggestion for some reason that the words: “fill u up with helium, Let you float right up to the celium” would fit in well but i guess that should stay in theyre version of the song dont you think?.
Your ability to ryme and sing is incredible !
I have decided that I am in love with you. Which is scary considering I am a 14 year old girl.
But you are amazing, Tim darling.
xx
you are ridiculously talented
Hysterical!! i love your songs
it was just great!!!!
Oops. Never mind about the spicks and specks thing i just said. Its been on twice.
Alisha here again. Sean, I also watched Spicks and Specks the other night (The best bits of Spicks and Specks) Yes that would be good to have the lyrics on the site, I know most of them! And would there be anyway of downloading the Adam hills song and the version of the Canvas Bags you did at the 2006 Gala Comedy Festival?
Your songs a really funny! Loved you at the 2006 Gala Comedy Festival with Canvas Bags. And you were also awesome on Spicks and Specks with the Adam Hills song!!!
You’re just too good. I’ve only recently been alert to your existence by a friend.
That is amazing. ive heard it like 50 times and evry time im always in stitches and cant help but admire his piano playing. Has anybody either the score or even just the basic chords to that?
Hey tim
Saw you on Spicks and specks last nite and thought u were fukin brilliant. is there any chance of posting the Adam Hills lyrics on ur website and releasing the song??
Pure genius! get bak to me
hi Tim
I had the good fortune to catch you on the Paramount Comedy channel recently, I believe it was a short from the Edinburgh Fringe, and you sung this song. I haven’t laughed so much at song lyrics in a long long time. I hope to catch one of your live shows the next time you’re here in Scotland , and I’m sure I’d probably have laughed myself hoarse by the end of it. Yes, it’s odd that i’d like to do something as silly as that, but if I bring my girlfriend along too then maybe she’d laugh herself hoarse and I’d get some peace and quiet for a few days, so it’d all be worth it.
Keep up the good work mate.
tim its me harrison heard about your new show im getting the album i think it will so funny i’m looking forward to getting it and hearing more of your hysterical lyrics i don’t know how hysterical it will be but i’m sure i’ll have to put duck tape over my mouth to stop me from laughing you know if i had’nt have laughed under the blankets the neighbours would have complained my mum did’nt laugh as loud as me because she stopped laughing but whenever i hear your name i start to think about your songs and i burst out with laughter remembering what you said your my number one man for comedy and no one has ever made me laugh louder or longer than you you are my comedy idol and i assure you that if anything changes that won’t so see you soon in 8 years at one of your fab concerts i look forward to seeing
ps. i think i have irritable bowl syndrome but im not entirely sure.

fuck we need a video link to this song if someone posts one, i’ll cum my pants off, either that or, tim sort out your advertisement agents and get them to sort out the media section, if you get videos up publicity will spread like wildfire, since inflatable you is one of the best comic tracks around at the mo it’ll be linked all over the place… in your face… love luke.
xxxx
Saw you on an Edinburgh fringe round up the other on Dara O’Briain’s fringe show and thought you were the funniest songster since Bill Bailey. Hard not to make the comparison due to the fact you are both comedian singer songwriters so apologies as I am sure you’ve heard it all before. Needless to say I am dying to see you live now having only heard/seen one song. Do please come to Newcastle, UK soon if you do a tour.
…or you could buy the CD and stop being such stingy bastards!
need mp3 of inlflatable you BAD!!!
wer th hell can we get these songs from? coz limewire is being gay about it all!!! i need w hear th canvas bag song and inflatable you!!!!
Tim mate, u are hillarious. Please let me download the canvas bag song. Its so funny. I saw you at the Melbourne comedy festival roadshow in Perth. Great show, keep it up!!!

I am a mother and grandmother and I think you are fabulous and very funny. I especially loved ‘Inflatable You.”
I LOVE YOU, TIM!!!!
Hey Tim!!! I’m going to see your show in Brisvegas this Sunday, and I was woonddeerrriinnggg a couple of girlfriends and I just wanted you signatures! (oh so retarded, I know) but is there any chance for us to meet you after the show?
PUT THE DOWNLOAD FOR CANVAS BAGS UP U FUCKTARD
Hey Tim, my name is Tom and i saw your show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival the night the baby was in the crowd, fucking halerious. I was wondering, are you planning to put the Mp3s of all the songs you performed (like canvas bags, best song ever and i am so fucking rock) on that night and previous nights, if not could you please do it anyway.
thanks, Tom
PS: the lyrics would be awsome as well
i dont have an email adress but i too would love to learn the lyrics to the canvas bag song you performed at the oxfam comedy show. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post them on your website.
Write down the lyrics for the song ‘Canvas bag’ because its wicked funny. I think Tim’s lyrics are cool.
hi i think tim’s songs are so amasing and clever i wish i could do that
Though…. I reject the fact that Harrison thinks that he is Tim’s biggest fan… I win hands down…
Man… That is possibly the longest sentence I have ever read Harrison…
wow tim u seem to have a few stalkers lol good luck with ure up coming show..jono is going and im not :( dammit…well anyways hope u enjoy it and hope you come to shepp to do a show for us:)
You should be so lucky to have a fan such as great as Harrison. I went to see one of your shows once and although exceptional, it would be even better if their was a song about Harrison in their. I strongly suggest you write a song about the genius
Harrison Ivor Hartnell is a 10 year old ledgend. Pure Brilliance Harry!
sorry i made a spelling mistake where it says kins it should say king i am very sorry for making that mistake almighty Tim Minchin please forgive me king of the Comedians
tim my mum finds you hilarios so she played dark side 2 me i am 10 and i have a great sense of humour my name is Harrison Hartnell and my mums name is Clare Hartnell i am a massive fan and i found this website by looking at my mum’s canvas bag i am not allowed to come to your shows because they are for 18 year olds and over but if you are still a comedian when i’m 18 i will definetely come to see your shows whenever i can you are a brilliant comeidian and you will soon be world famous i garantee because if you are’nt then the judges have misjudged you and i hope you are world famous and i hope you make a lot more albums so i can sit at home and laugh my head off so i think in about a years time you would have earned about 5 million but i hope you earn a lot more because i think you are the funniest man in the world because for 10 years i have never laughed so much because when i listened to darkside for the first time in my life i laughed so much i got the hiccups and threw up because the album was so funny so you are definetely going to be the big hit of our time you are so good you make Billy Connoly look shit and you most definetely are the king of comedy this is what the world will be saying Tim Minchin the kins of comedy would’nt that be great it would ani know it and they will be saying that because i think so because you inspire me and i wish i was as funny as you are but i’m not but you are so funny that i think that you have had a secret talent for being funny since you were born and i’ll tell you what i would say to everyone if i was the king i would say whenever Tim Minchin is in the same room as you you have to bow down and stay ther and till Tim goes chantind all hail Tim Minchin the great and also do whatever he says and i change being a massive fan of yours to being your biggest fan and overall i juct wanted to say Tim Minchin is the best comedian in the world.
Hello my darlings…
I don’t know why tim would need to experience the wonders of a blow-up doll… He’s so gorgeous I’m sure if he tried he could’ve gotten any girl he wanted… but then again i guess he did… What sane man wouldn’t want one… Tim you make it sound so wonderful i commend you for this…
Peaople are Scary
Why did I buy that thing?! ;)
When i heard i was totally blown away…..man this is why i love comedy so much…..my two great loves are music and comedy….and well thius is the perfect combanation of the two…absolutely the best thing i’ve heard in a long time!!!!!
Hey i heard this song from my wonderful friend Jono who is a massive massive fan(the one who has left previous comments on here) and i just wanted to read the lyrics and then leave a msg 2 tell u this song brightened up my day and made me feel so happy n lately i have been going though a lot of stuff and so i have been down lots and dont feel happy very often so thankyou for writing music that makes me feel happy again (even just for a little bit) and makes me smile. Jono is 100% right when he says you rock :)
tim i herd u sing this first on radio 2 in the uk and was bum struck and thought it was awsom and can wait till you get back to edinbourgh
Hi Tim.I’m one of the lucky londoners who saw you last night at Le Grand…
You were grand!!!
i love this song, anywhere i can get it?
hey i would just like to say your really funny and have an awesome voice, i found out about u from watching Edinburgh and beyond
I just watched you on TV, i was laughing so hard i had to hold my stomach and i had tears in my eyes. You really do rock!
Whoa… thats the best link I’ve pressed in a while… well done in finding it!!!
http://sohotheatre.e-flyers.org.uk/timMinchin/# … here’s a little teaser that might offer some reprieve .. ps loved your seditious act yesterday tim .. xx
I am waiting and waiting and the frustration of not finding the damn song is depressing me, but I live for the day I hear it again LOL!
Why would he do that? Why would you give away for free that which people are prepared to buy? (word to all the pre-teen sluts spreading the love. And by ‘love’, I mean ‘chlamydia’)
dear tim
could u put inflatable you on the site to down load. is one of the best songs iver.
thanks dave
When his CD comes out. Those of us who have friends with recording equipment, however….
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can anyone tell me where i can find Inflatable you I know i have been asking for like… a year but I need to here it again LOL. When will I be able to Tim????
Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope we all drink entirely too much and eat nearly as much and enjoy the company of our favorite people (no, Tim can’t be everywhere at once like Santa Clause, although he magically goes from Melbourne to England in 24 hours. You can listen to his CD). Take care, be safe and have fun.
Sincerely, Ryan
Ahem. Swine. Making me choke. And then FIXING the smoke machine the next night…. *sigh* Why am I always the guniea pig?! :p
Take care minchin.
Hi Tim
We saw your Spiegeltent show on Saturday night and nearly pissed ourselves laughing. Great show. Pity that another show was on afterwards. We would have loved to have had more than the two encores you gave us.
Any update as to when the DVD will be available at all?
Have a happy Christmas.
Love from Zin and Andy
Tim, we caught your Spiegeltent show on Sat. night and were mightily amused – we look forward to the release of more recorded stuff so we can further assist in relieving your impecuniousness ! That your fame is not more wide spread is a national disgrace. Cheers A.D. ps any hint on which private school the rock and roll nerd attended ?
So it’s finally on its way… thanks, Mr. Minchin, I look forward to ordering very shortly, and it’s a shame I couldn’t find a copy of the show recorded at the Fringe, in our venue.
Best Wishes.
Wow, while watching Australias Favourite Movie on ABC, I was suprised that the movie I voted for actually made it into the top 10. I was then even more suprised when Tim popped up singing a song about it. My favourite comedian and favourite movie joined in the art of song… amazing!!! now, where can I get a copy of the song?
Timothy, I believe its time for you to update this. :)
I mean come on, you ain’t gonna be @ Speigel til Saturday, ya swine! Thats a whole friday to do stuff!
Or, you could, y’know, gimme birthday love! :p
Come back! Please come back Timmy.
can you PLEASE tell us where we can download or buy this song????
Lv Rachael
Should’ve had it out by Christmas bud! Where’s your sense of marketing tsk tsk
Yay for the the first (official) recording. :p
YAY! Recording! YAY!!!! i love you tim.
Hello. It’s me. Thanks for asking about records. I’m doing a live recording in Melbourne next week, which I hope will be available to order by the new year. Keep an eye on this site, orright?
t.
Hello Tim, I’m new to your website so thought I’d leave a comment, I saw you on tickled pink aswell and would love to hear more of your songs. Where can I get a copy of your music? I noticed another bloke asked but you didnt answer him. Keep up the good work x Ps Christ your sexy x
It’s been like two whole days since I’ve commented… well… I must comment once again… Tim I love you… of all the songs I’ve listened to over the years after downloading the interview off triple j i’ve listened to rock and roll nerd more than any of them… and everytime i listen to the interview you make me laugh… and love….
Wow, that’s crazy… so half of London is in the Western Hemisphere, but half isn’t! That pesky prime meridian. So it really kinda depends on where in London you are. Tim Minchin rocks the house in any hemisphere, and that is an irrefutable fact.
He’s not scared of me?? Yay… I love you Timmy… even more so cause “me…” heard that you’re not scared of me. Yay…
Apparently, Tim is not scared of Sarah. At least that’s what I hear.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere
Mr./Mrs./Ms. arbitrator,
I’m in the western hemisphere. Perhaps London is as well, Asia’s pretty big and probably takes up a lot of the eastern. There are both east/west and north/south hemispheres, right? I thought so, anyway. Regardless, I hope everybody has a great day.
Hehe, I had exams last week, everyday I walked to school listening to Tim on my iPod and instead of a school bag, I had my Tim Minchin Canvas bag. Go the Minchin!!! You Rock!!!
is there anywhere i can get the song…..its fantastic…..i saw you on tickled pink and larfed a lot
thanks tim……:D
ps.hope to be like you one day
Cross-Gartered, if you’re not in the southern hemisphere (Australia) and you’re not in the northern hemisphere (London), then which hemisphere are you in…?
I will stick with it… because you should never let the ones you love get away… I will devote myself to him because he is so lovely… Timmy, I don’t mean to love you so much… but you’re just so loveable… I know that I may be being scary but we all get a bit scary sometimes don’t me… I’m sorry if I’ve scared Tim… I don’t care about the rest of you because I don’t love you… unlike Tim whom I do love… So I will leave you with these parting words… Timmy I love you
hey iv been looking for you song bout the blow up doll but i cant find it PLZP PLZ PLZ tell wear i can find it ^^
love germolene
It’s alright, Sarah. In Edinburgh, people also declared their undying love for Mr. Minchin. Of course, they were foolish American and British women, or maybe his wife, but in either event, it was cool. Apparently he’s a dreadfully sexy person.
I wouldn’t know, I just join the thousands and thousands of people demanding a DVD or CD of his “Dark Side” show. Which was magnificent and probably contributed a great deal to his desirability. I’ll bet it did, it was tops.
So go with it Sarah. Devote yourself to Tim. One day, people might devote themselves to you as well, and you’ll know how lovely a feeling it is. Until then, both Tim and Sarah, and Everyone Else, have a lovely evening.
My evening is different from your evening, of course, because you’re in Australia or London or wherever, and I’m in a different hemisphere. But that’s okay. Cause we’re all Tim fans and all hangin out here on the ‘site. So have fun and try to spread peace. And take your canvas bags to the supermarket. Right on.
Hi Sarah. You’re being quite scary here, did you know?
I’ll love you forever and ever Tim.
Timmy be mine
More precisely, here:
http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/todaytoday/listen/mp3s/timin.mp3
Come on Tim, get a “Dark Side” CD on the go! There is a demand here! :)
As an Edinburgh resident i hate the festival with a passion. Takes 10 minutes longer to walk to work in the morning and you cant get a drink as easily after work. I saw you on TV doing inflatable you laughed my arse off and just had to get a ticket. Liked it so much i had to get a ticket for the saturday night too, which was even funnier when I knew what was coming up.
There is a mp3 of rock and roll nerd on triplej. which s good – could do with more though. Get that DVD out quick. :D
See now, everybody really wants a recording of stuff… myself included. No pressure. Just hurry up and get ‘er done. Please.
Hi Tim, saw you on the final night in Edinburgh, and loved it to bits.
Can you post more lyrics? I’d really like to have the lyrics to Rock and Roll Nerd particularly. Is there a recording of that available?
Hey Tim… just thought I’d let u know I saw your article in Rolling Stone… twas great… you’re a funny funny man… and the picture was great… you’re so beautiful… in a psychotic way
yup, its in the superband bit. in tehe song select its on page two, if I can remember correctly about song 16 but im not really sure. yeah the Bedroom Philosopher but he’s not as good as Tim. Tim does a stage dive.
Is Tim in the Superband bit?
So is far too much of The Bedroom Philosopher, so I hear. :D
Ok, this admintedly doesn’t have anything to do with Tims latest Blog, but for anyone in Australia, with a spare $30, I would recommed going out and purchasing the Scared Weird Little Guys DVD, no not because I like the SWLD, but because Tim is on it. Yes thats right Tim is on it, he is only singing one song “A little more conversation” but it is the most rocking version of it the song that ive ever heard. BUY THE DVD!!. available at JB HIFI, Target, Sanity and many more!!!
YOU ROCK TIM!!!
Oh dear.
There are some people who’ve done a whole bunch of Tim’s lyrics..you just have to know where to look.
p.s. Tim, Rin took her signed bag to the supermarket, and the checkout girl looked at her like she was an alien. And no, her bottom didn’t fall out.
Hey Tim…
Thanks for posting the lyrics… it gets me one step closer to hearing your gorgeous voice again…
You were fantasic last night – on stage I mean. Are you doing anymore gigs before you head back to Oz? I would love to take a few dozen friends to see you so I look hip and cool.
Okay, lyrics section is a good idea, but Tommy here with the idea for mp3’s? Genius! I’d be thrilled.
You were also on a program in Scotland about the fringe and thats where I saw you perform this first. Unfortunately by then I couldn’t get to see your show, any plans to return next year?
How about doing an MP3 version of this song?
Hi Beth (and Tim), Interpretings very hard work, they need to be able to see the show a few times before interpreting it to be able to keep up.
In the case of Tim’s material, its probably even more of a challange, as its damn hard to sign when laughing that hard :-)
Probably the best combination would be for the lyrics to be on a screen, and interpreters to sign the spoken sections between.. this would also give the interpreters a short break.
But its always interesting to see how some phrase are interpreted…
cheers
David
Yeah, Inflatable You was one of my favorites. Of course, they kinda all were. I really liked the song about the Rock and Roll Nerd (that guy’s a LOSER) and Dark Side. Is there any chance, barring copyright concerns, that you might post a lyrics section on this website? So I can rock at home with my vague drunken memory of the melodies like I already have with the song listed above and the Secret Hidden Track on Tim the Dog. Continued success, Mr. Minchin.
Tim, the London gig rocked and our London friends thought you were the bomb. Looking forward to the Lyric theatre show.
Maybe you could do a Hillsy, Tim, and have a sign language person on the side of the stage. Somehow sign language people make life more fun… well, sometimes.
Hi Tim,
Good to hear that we’ll see you briefly in Melbourne before you leave for the UK.
A slightly odd question: Is there any possibility of getting the song lyrics etc subtitled at the Spiegeltent?
My partner is deaf, and its great when we are able to get to enjoy these things together, and interpretors or subtitles would make a huge difference.
These events tend to publicised too via the formal and informal deaf networks, so hopefully a large number of deaf people might attend.
I’d be happy to assist in any way at all.
thanks in advance
David
I have just watched Tickled Pink, and had never heard of you before. What an absolutely amazing performance! Inflatable You, blew me away! Please tell me where I can obtain a DVD or MP3 of the song. Thankyou – just brilliant! Garry Lee – Radio Seagull / Apple FM http://www.theoverflow.co.uk
Would love to be able to download it, so my friends who havent heard it can laugh as much as i did
I’ve been telling everyone about ‘Inflatable You’…would love to buy a downloadable copy…top stuff!
I missed the Minchin on TV?? Well, I’m sulking. C’mon Timothy… can’t you give us some clues as to when you’ll be on? Or do you not know? Or is that it for now?
ps – obviously, i am not too worried about the deadlines.. but just checked an old entry and now have a question about Montreal – you heading there? did you give em a thumbs up? Jack and I is relocating to Canada in January – will there be a chance to see you?? Now that would be cool x
Yay – I won a bet concerning the meaning of “felicity” in this song – I too pay too much attention. PS Thanks for signing my bag in Hobart, Ahli says she hopes you enjoyed the cake :)
timmy – you back in melbourne town? when is good for chats? am surrounded by beige office furniture and deadlines.. but would love to speak to you
indeed renee.
i have made the relevant corrections.
i feel so ashamed.
Doesn’t it usually finish with “don’t let me down (x3 or so)…and I won’t let you down”?
Yes, Tim, I DO pay too much attention. :D
Hysterical!… you rock
is there anywhere to download the audio of the song? or is there a CD with it on?
Genius .. pure genius :)
My friends in Hobart thought you were awesome!
